8 attempts at sub 3 at NYCM, never better than 3:05 (it's 10 minutes slower for non-elites than berlin/chicago/flat courses). I'm just a weekend warrior but I've always been fortunate as a NYRR to qualify to be corralled in front with the elites, which is exciting to be in a pro am and start shoulder to shoulder with Olympians, etc. but that goes out the window once the cannon fires. Marathon day is the best day of the year to be in the city.
Ya, that start position definitely helps. Still, sub 3 on NYC is something. I’ll be back and get a much better time…. And I am targeting a sub 3 marathon in a few years…. But not on the NYC course. 2024 was the first they I didn’t renew my NYRR membership. It was one of the last ties I had to NYC and a big part of mentally becoming a “former” NYCer. General lottery life for me from now on…
Even as bad as the post finish experience is…. The medical tent is well accessible, there are two actually post finish. NYRR does a good job with that.
This is a must re-watch in the unlikely event that Jupiter is aligned with Venus, and I score a lottery bid for an upcoming NYC Marathon. Thanks for the fun and valuable tips.
You and me both now. Not living in NYC and no longer being a NYRR member means I need the same moon alignments to get another entry to NYC. I'll be back though...
@@SagasuRunning Chicago next year and luck-willing NYCM the following year. Berlin, London, Tokyo, Sydney(?) will have to wait until after I win the $billion lottery. Perhaps you can do I video on how to get into NYCM if you're not a resident or a member of NYRR or have no desire to fundraise.Just a thought.
Nice. I watch the lotteries for all the majors and enter all of them. Tokyo is the next one I would like…. But will take any I get a bib for. I’m thinking CIM or Valencia to get my BQ to go their route, likely 2026 for that. So that could be my next marathon given my chances of lottery entries are slim to none.
Still far away from running a marathon, at best I could maybe see myself running a half one day. In other news, I just came back from running my club's 5k race. Last year I did 27:45 so I was aiming for around 26:00 with my training. I somehow ended up doing 24:23!!!🥳 The last 2.5k were an uphill battle ("the real race," as another runner put it), literally, the elevation was considerable, so I had to check my pace and breathing. The AP3 is a monster though, if you push it, it'll respond in a heartbeat, and I'm not fit enough to push it all the way. My legs are okay, some minor shin splints though. Time for recovery.😄
imo: bring drop off clotes and something to take a seat, take tea in the start village to heat up and relax and start slow; and you have toilets also in corals; good luck guys
Know its not really relevant to this video but ive never seen a review about on cloud, is it js not available in Taiwan or is it js not your type of shoe?
You mean On running shoes? They are around Taiwan. The brand made a recent push into the country. I actually have run alot in On over the eyars, mostly 2017/18/19, but haven't run in them since. I see nothing interesting, beyond flashy promo tech, from the brand at the moment. I was going to cover the CloudSurfer Next, then I tried it on... nope. If something is intriguing or valuable I'll cover it...
@@SagasuRunning I've sone smaller city marathons very enjoyable races.... no desire to need sharp elbows to "run" (using the term loosely)and fight for fluids, with 50K other people.
@lenjanssen9600 I’ve run one “small town” race (under 200 people). It was an experience I’ve never had. Room? Calm? Ability to focus on pace? I have to admit it was fun. All my other racing has been big city or major event racing….
@@SagasuRunning Biggest I've done is about 7,500 people. Once you get past the start it was pleasant. I get the bragging rights of the majors, but I'd prefer to enjoy. Different strokes and all.

The 2022 NYC Marathon is the first and only race (so far) where I had to visit the medical tent after crossing the finish line. Hard to forget!
Even as bad as the post finish experience is…. The medical tent is well accessible, there are two actually post finish. NYRR does a good job with that.
@@SagasuRunning And I must say, the doctors and nurses in the medical tent are incredibly experienced and warm. Thumb up!
@Minionthesecond Good to hear. I would expect nothing less from NYRR.

@@SagasuRunning Let me know if when you run CIM. I'll run it with you.

Nice PR. Thats a big leap in a year. Keep up the training. It seems to be working! 💪🏻

Good advice. You can get hot water in the start area...so if you bring your own tea bag, you are good to go, hot all the time.

@@SagasuRunningI see what you mean, thanks for the reply tho 👍
sounds terrible. I really don't get the attraction.
Big city marathons are something you need to experience. NYC is very extreme in many ways .

@@lenjanssen9600 I’ve done races of that size, though they were within Central Park, so still packed. Totally, different strokes.
